Chapter 293 Refugees

When I returned to the village, the sun had already set.

Mulberry leaves slowly walked home, greeting the villagers who came back from time to time, and their faces were illuminated by the sunset with a relaxing smile on their faces.

At this moment, two women came towards us. One was erect and the other was carefully supported. The two did not see the mulberry leaves, and walked forward with a smile, looking very close.

Sang Ye looked at the woman who was supporting Niu in surprise, and then she showed a smile on her face, and stood there without moving.

"Oh, where did you get back from the fight with my sister-in-law?" Niu noticed someone standing in front of him. When he looked up, he saw that it was Mang Ye. He tightened his hand holding his stomach and stopped and asked unexpectedly.

Another woman suddenly raised her head, and when she saw that Sang Ye's eyes flashed slightly, she immediately lowered her head and hid behind Niu, as if she was afraid.

Niu noticed this and suddenly pulled the corner of his mouth and said jokingly: "Sister Meizi, they are all relatives. Why are you hiding from your sister-in-law? I'm afraid you won't be able to eat me?"

Several villagers carrying hoes passed by here. When they heard Niu's words, they looked over. Their eyes fell on the plums that had shrunk into a ball. Then they looked at the mulberry leaves with their faces that remained unchanged, with gossip in their eyes.

They had never seen Mei Zi. When they saw her being with Niu, they thought they were relatives of the Zheng family or relatives who had conflicts with Sang Ye. They did not forget that there was a festival between Sang Ye and Sister-in-law Niu. Now they seemed to be trying to make trouble, and they were happy to stay and watch the fun.

Sang Ye wanted to roll her eyes. If she had known that she would have bumped into these two bad things, she would definitely not have gone this way. It wasn't because she was afraid that they would cause trouble, but she just didn't want to waste time and energy on such people.

But Niu took the initiative to provoke. If she turned around, she would still think she was guilty. She immediately fought back: "Niu, you can eat food and you can't recognize relatives. Why don't I remember that there is such a person in my relatives? You must have been cheated and let someone stay at home to eat and drink for nothing, right?"

This is almost like calling Niu a fool a fool who took in someone of unknown origin.

When the villagers who were watching the fun heard this, their attention instantly turned to Niu. No one doubted Sang Ye's words. After all, they had never seen Meizi in the relatives of the Zheng family for so many years, and they really thought she was a relative who Niu didn't know where to recognize her.

When he was looked at by someone as a fool, Niu almost got angry to death, but he had to maintain a smile on his face and said angrily: "Sister-in-law, everyone said that he had been stupid for three years after pregnancy. Sister Meizi had been home with her aunt a few days ago. Why did you forget so quickly?"

Sang Ye looked at Meizi, not wanting to be discussed by others, so she did not expose the disgusting things this woman did in front of outsiders. She was too lazy to play tricks with Niu, and ruthlessly exposed Meizi's background in public: "So what if I just deliberately forget this woman? Why, a woman who was abandoned by her husband's family, forget it, you still want to stand up for me for her, right?"

As soon as these words were said, the villagers' expressions changed when they looked at Mei Zi. In this era, they were quite tolerant of widows and were very discriminatory to abandoned women. Because in the eyes of most people, abandoned women must have failed to do their duty as women and were disliked by their in-laws.

"Is this Niu stupid? Even if you want to do good deeds and take in an old beggar on the street, it is better than taking in an abandoned wife!"

"Didn't she say she was stupid for three years after one pregnancy? Maybe she was really stupid!"

"Hehe, Meng's two daughters-in-law are also very interesting. One is capable and can get a lot of money at home, and the other is not enough to get a lot of money. She also uses food to support an outsider... Tsk tsk, it's still a sister-in-law, this is too far away!"

“…”

Niu did not expect that Sang Ye would not play according to the rules and admitted in front of outsiders that he had a marriage with Mei Zi. He did not expect that the villagers would ridicule in front of him without any concealment and even compared him with nothing, and he was almost so angry that he was so angry that he was almost irritated.

But she couldn't really faint. She looked red with her eyes and pretended to be aggrieved. She asked Sang Ye: "Sister-in-law, how dare I look for you?" Sister Meizi said that she had done something sorry for her sister-in-law and had no shame to see her sister-in-law again. I think Sister Meizi is a relative in our family. The fuss is too stiff. Everyone is not good-looking in their face, so I hope that Sister-in-law can give Meizi a good view for my sake.

Sister, one chance."

"Give you a face?" Sang Ye looked at Niu incrediblely and slapped the face without hesitation: "You still have face in front of me? It seems that you have forgotten the fact that you knelt in front of the ancestral hall to atone for your sins. Do you want me to remind you?"

Niu's face changed drastically, and he could not maintain the gentle look in front of others. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, it was the woman Hu who framed me. I didn't do anything to frame my sister-in-law. What do you want me to do to believe me?"

Sang Ye stared at the index finger splitting with his fingernails, and didn't even look at Niu: "You know best if you were you condoming Hu or Hu framed you! But I still want to tell you that no matter what you do, I will not believe you!"

After saying that, she walked by Niu and Meizi without squinting. She accidentally caught Niu's trembling body with anger. A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth and reminded in a low voice: "Don't think that just by trying to win over this woman, I hope you can understand the truth about trying to get a tiger!"

Niu's face changed again. Looking at Sang Ye's back gradually moving away, he wanted to convince himself that this was this woman's trick, just to alienate them, and he couldn't believe it, but his eyes unconsciously moved to Mei Zi beside him, and his expression was difficult to tell.

Meizi didn't hear Sang Ye clearly, and Niu looked at him with such strange eyes, and guessed that it was not a good thing. He hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Niu: "Sister, you have great kindness to me, and I will never do anything to be sorry for you, otherwise I will be struck by lightning and will die of a good death!"

Meizi did not want to do anything to be sorry to Niu at this time. After all, Niu was willing to take her in when she was homeless. Unfortunately, a person with a bad mind was like a poisonous snake ready to bite people at any time. When it could not satisfy her appetite or hinder her interests, it became "natural" to repay kindness and revenge.

Seeing Mei Zi making such a poisonous oath, Niu looked a little better, and he held Mei Zi's handwriting and said angrily: "What's the good poisonous oath? Don't I know that woman wants to alienate us sisters?"

Meizi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly: "It's good that sister understands, we must not be fooled by that woman!"

Niu nodded, agreeing with Mei Zi's words.

...

In the room, Sang Ye leaned lazily on the chair and sighed at Zheng Lin who was massaged by his legs: "You don't know. Before I went to the Zheng family, I didn't expect that Zheng Cong was a kind of infatuated person. He just insisted on Aunt Nian and asked Aunt Nian to promise him two years."

Zheng Lin pressed his swollen legs in front of him, and said without raising his head: "It seems that the kid is an independent person. Apart from his unpleasant temperament, it is not easy to pick out anything else for his husband."

Upon hearing this, Sang Ye couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect to catch your eyes. When I talked to the Zhang family, I didn't see you having such a high opinion of Zhang You."

Zheng Lin sneered coldly: "What is the thing that the Zhang man's surname is except for one face?"

In the past, he was not interested in Zhang You or disliked him. When Sang and Zhang families got engaged, they happened to be not at home, so they had no special thoughts. Until Zhang You made such a scandal, he completely disliked this person.

Sang Ye nodded in agreement. Zhang You had nothing to do with his face.

"I hope Yue Niang can figure it out now, otherwise I will always feel sorry for that boy Zheng Cong." Sang Ye's face was filled with expectations, and more sadness.

At that time, if Nian and Zheng Cong believed that Yue Niang looked down on them, they would not agree to this marriage. She would not have such concerns as Yue Niang giving up and then seeking another good marriage. Zheng Cong was willing to wait for two years, afraid that her words would ignite his hope. She was really afraid that Zheng Cong's wish would fail in two years, making it more difficult for him to get out of this relationship.

"It depends on the fate of the two. It's useless to be anxious." Zheng Lin comforted his wife, afraid that she would be as stubborn as her sister-in-law and would not be able to get along with her.

"I understand what you said, but I always feel a little uncomfortable." Sang Ye shook his head and tried to brush away the irritability in his heart: "Look at Zheng Cong's performance. If he is really a good person, at worst I can say more good things about him in front of Yue Niang."

"Well, this idea is good. Yue Niang can listen to your words." Zheng Lin agreed and followed the initiative.

Yi: "I will also help train that kid and try to make him look like Yue Niang! We are the same couple, maybe we don't have to wait for two years to make them good things."

"Yeah, that's it!" Sang Ye liked this suggestion very much, and leaned over and kissed the man in the face like a reward.

Zheng Lin felt that a kiss was far from enough, so she couldn't help but raise her hand and press the back of her wife's head, kissing her deeply on her rosy lips, and soon her breath became disordered.

Since the child in her belly has been seven months old, the two have not been intimate for a month. Whenever Zheng Lin is furious by the breath of Sang Ye, she can only rely on the Wuwei Girl to be self-sufficient, and she has accumulated anger all over her body.

The room was filled with ambiguous sound of water stains, and the couple were both angry by this long kiss. If Zheng Lin hadn't stopped him in time at a critical moment, they would have met frankly now.

Sang Ye couldn't stand it, and he grabbed the man's hand tightly with indescribable charm. The man almost abandoned all his reason and rushed forward regardless of it.

Fortunately, Zheng Lin was extremely self-control. After taking a few deep breaths, he finally held back. He stroked the woman's sweaty forehead pity and said, "It's almost time. When the child is born, he will definitely love you well for his husband!"

Sang Ye's face turned ashamed by this suggestive sentence, and he beat the man's chest and spat: "Seme, who wants you to hurt!"

Such a shy look is getting brighter and more charming. Zheng Lin's index finger is almost unable to control it. He reaches out and grabs Sang Ye's sensitive waist and eyes, grinding his teeth and sighs: "What a grinding little fairy!"

Sang Ye took this as praise and laughed in a daze. Seeing the man staring at him like a wolf, as if he was about to tease him down the next moment, she didn't dare to tease him easily and quickly change the topic: "Guess who did I meet when I came back from Aunt Nian's house?"

Zheng Lin was also afraid that he could not control himself, so he followed her words and asked, "Who?"

Sang Ye let go of Zheng Lin's arm, held his big belly and slowly leaned back on the recliner: "I met Mei Zi, but I didn't expect that she would actually hook up with Niu. I don't know what the hell is going on."

Zheng Lin instinctively disgusted with that woman Mei Zi. Unexpectedly, the Meng family drove her back to the Xu family. She ran out and got involved with Niu. She immediately turned cold and told Sang Ye: "Neither of these two women are good at it. If you meet them in the future, you can hide, and don't conflict with them head-on."

"Yeah, I'll be careful." Sang Ye nodded, and she thought so. Although the two women were not so bold that they attacked her directly, who knew if they would get angry at themselves or were stimulated by them.

If she were herself, she wouldn't have a baby in her belly. She must not take risks and let it make any mistakes.

Zheng Lin thought about it, but still couldn't feel at ease. He said to Sang Ye: "When the work in the past two days is over, Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu

Sang Ye felt that her husband was too nervous and advised with a smile: "Okay, okay, those two women are not fools. They have suffered a great loss in our hands and will definitely not act rashly again."

Zheng Lin felt a little more at ease, touched his wife's raised belly, and his expression turned into full of love: "I have no more to ask for for my husband in this life, I just wish you mother and son peace and safety."

Mangye's expression also softened, and her white and tender hands covered her husband's big hands, with an extremely beautiful wish: "I will."

...

Time passed by like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye, it entered the July like a fire. No one expected that in just one night, a large number of begging refugees appeared in several nearby villages.

Time passed by like flowing water, and July entered in a blink of an eye. On this day, Zheng Lin came back from outside and brought back a bad news:

The Pingnan Prefecture, Qingyuan Prefecture and Yunnan Prefecture, which were adjacent to Yunzhou Prefecture, experienced severe winter drought, which caused heavy rain to fall after the wheat harvest. The seedlings in the fields were all well and were well recovered, but severe floods occurred, sweeping away all the crops by the flood.

Nowadays, many victims have fled to Yunzhou Prefecture. It may not take long before the refugees will flee to various villages and cause certain unrest.

"All three prefectures have suffered disasters?" Sang Ye asked in disbelief. You must know that in addition to the winter drought that had been causing a while in winter, the rain that had lasted for more than half a month after spring began to completely relieve.

Although the wheat and rape in the fields were greatly affected and there was little left after paying the tax grain, relying on the remaining old grain and the grain bought last year, it was no problem to maintain the autumn harvest. Who would have thought that a few cities separated by a river would have no grain harvest, and even another flood completely eliminated the hope of the affected people.

I don’t know that the mulberry leaves who hadn’t been to the city for a long time, and the food in several prefectures that were hit by the disaster has increased to the sky. Even Yunzhou Prefecture has been greatly affected, and the food is three times more expensive than usual. If she had not had the foresight to store a lot of food at the beginning of the year, she would have to spend three times more money to buy.

Zheng Lin nodded with a heavy expression, and felt very uncomfortable when he thought of the displaced victims.

This year he stayed at home and stayed with his wife. After the drought in spring was lifted, he did not pay attention to news about other cities, so he only realized that the disaster was so serious.

"What about the imperial court? Does the imperial court care?" Sang Ye continued to ask, she could imagine what consequences would be caused by so many disaster victims wandering around. Would those in power not know?

Zheng Lin shook his head, his face a little ugly: "At the beginning of the year, the imperial court mobilized a large amount of food from several nearby prefectures nearby, but the disaster area was too large and it was severely flooded. The food for relief was just a drop in the bucket."

The three prefectures were seriously affected, and the surrounding prefectures were more or less affected. It was difficult to prepare enough food in a short period of time. It was also difficult to mobilize from farther cities to save nearby fires.

"Oh my God, how many people will die!" Meng's face showed compassion. She had experienced floods and droughts of all sizes, and she knew very well what hunger felt like, and she knew even more that every time there was a natural disaster, people would die.

Old man Zheng remained silent. After a long time, he suddenly said to Zheng Lin: "You have to tell the patriarch as soon as possible to think of a charter for this matter. If the victims really wandered into our village, it would be a big deal!"

Zheng Lin looked at his father with some surprise and said in a deep voice: "As soon as I got the news, I already knew the clan leader. The clan leader is probably already discussing with the elders of the same clan, so there should be a solution soon."
